App permissions

Application Access

The Cloud Connect apps communicate through a special “app user” with the Jira, and this app user will be the member of the “atlassian-addons-admin”, “jira-users” and “jira-software-users” groups after installation by default. Due to this, the app user will have Application access in the instance.

Removing this special addon group, or modifying the default access groups is not recommended, and can casue well known issues with addons, eg.:

• https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/add-on-user-permissions-problem/48760

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76971

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-69621

• https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/unable-to-install-any-cloud-add-ons-971608404.html

Make sure, that the default access groups are in place or if you change them to newly created ones, install the app after the changes, and grant Jira product access to these newly created groups.
